South Dakota: Helen Mirren Too Busy Saving America To Meet With Queen
Where: SD, United States
Short etiquette lesson: No one turns down the Queen. Longer etiquette lesson: No one turns down the Queen... unless you're Helen Mirren. The Dame who won an Oscar for playing Elizabeth II in "The Queen" finally scored her invite to meet the woman she saluted in her acceptance speech -- but she had to decline. What could be more important than royalty? South Dakota!
Mirren is working on "National Treasure: The Book of Secrets," the sequel to 2004's Nicolas Cage-starring nerd-action hit, according to the Associated Press. (Plot details are scant, but we believe she plays Cage's treasure-hunting mum.) The original "Treasure," about a secret cache of Freemason loot, was shot mostly in the Northeast, but (spoiler alert!) the new movie will feature scenes from Mount Vernon to Mount Rushmore. So, Dead Presidents: 4, Living Queens: 0.
